Thanks to ExAmbot who shares
his memories of Amway FED Free Enterprise Days.
HA HA i remember all this stuff. Let me confirm that for the “serious business
builder” you not only arrived there early (say 4 - 6 am) you actually found
some ambots who beat you there, how? they slept on the line after last night’s
function! and BTW they have paid for an expensive hotel room!
Woe unto a new ambot. FED was put on with much grandeur and pomposity (as you
would say). the diamonds on stage would keep promoting saturday night, it will
be a life changing event (that’s when new diamonds are paraded on stage). how
it will be a mirror of where ambots will be in 5 years. on the floor before,
during and after the friday show the lying to the new ambots continue. they
would be told things like “this is your first function, waoh i envy you! i had
to wait for close to a year before i could come to an FED! you are in for quite
a treat! and for “older” ambots whose FED is their first function they would be
told FED does not compare to any other function they have been to before that.
don’t forget all this promotion usually starts as soon as the last major
function ends. so a poor ambot would have been hearing about the function for
so long it’s been worked into their brain real good (cultic brainwashing of
course).
Every day had it’s way of being promoted. saturday morning was the preparation
for the night event, etc. and then saturday night. you are told to imagine
yourself on that stage in 2-5 years. oh la di da! and you will never worry
about money in your life ever again, what with all the residual income coming
your way.
The funniest part now looking back was when there was no new diamonds as it
happened a couple of times with BWW. but leave it to cult leaders to use words
on ambots and still put on a cultic show!
Anywho sunday morning almost everyone was all pious and attends the service. it’s
sold as i came to a business meeting but my life changed and i found christ, my
marriage was saved, it’s a business but it’s even more than that, it’s a way of
life (now looking back isnt that cult admission?), etc etc.
Then there’s still the afternoon session. this is where now everything will be
tied together, amongst other crap. in reality this is the first time anything
is taught about building the business - last day, last session. Prior to this
the focus is emotional. in fact from stage on friday and saturday, they talk
about having an emotional reason to build it. that the technics are important
but not as the reason to build it and that it takes a short time to cover the
technics and that’s done on sunday but ambots first need to focus on their
emotional reason. cult leaders talk about saturday night is when they “saw it
and the business went from head to heart.” it was it sounds noble and all
innocent. but it’s classic cult preying on emotion! once they got an ambot
emotionally they got one don’t they.
The back drop of all this is that somebody has raked in big bucks. a diamond
collects $60 for every ticket sold in his/her pyramid, as well as from the
hotel rooms. to me that’s what FED and any other function is all about. a way
to continue provide income to diamonds by hooking in new ambots and and getting
the rest to continue staying in for as long as is possible.
I love it. Spend heap loads of your cash to go to an event with people you have nothing in common with except that all of you want to get rich.
ReplyDeleteYou don't need any numbers or data to get rich. Just to accept that some guy on a stage got rich and if you stick around long enough he will let you in on the secret so you can take his place one day.
There will be lots of stories about fabulous wealth and beautiful houses and cars. A whole upper caste of people who worked hard in the system and are now enjoying retirement at some ridiculously young age, living off the royalties of their time in Amway. But no data will ever be presented to you to show how this happened. No actual numbers because why would you need any of that. So you stick around and pay all their fees and attend all their magic events and go to bed at 2 am dreaming of your riches that are coming soon. Except you are now 70 and the time to enjoy that sports car and the massive house is limited. And then you ask yourself whether you should have demanded some numbers and some actual data and perhaps, just perhaps you wasted your life on a fool's errand.
Hi Aussie Hillbilly. Even though ex-Ambot is describing FED for the BWW cult sect he also perfectly described what happens at the WWDB cult sect for Free Enterprise Days.
DeleteThe whole purpose of FED is to put more money into the Diamonds bank accounts because selling tickets to these functions is how the top Amway cult leaders make the bulk of their income.
And LOL if everyone in the audience is going Diamond in 5 years there won't be much of an audience left LOL! Not to mention the current Diamonds will have to split their piece of greed pie. For all the bullshit they spout on stage about how they can't wait for everyone to join them on the stage as a Diamond - they don't want that. The same with every company. You can't have 500 presidents and CEOs and a dozen workers. Every cult will have one top cult leader and there will be a few higher ups in the cult and everyone below are the slaves who do all the work and hand over all their money to the fat cats at the top.
And LOL that any Amway cult leader will show actual data and dollar signs like a profit and loss statement and an actual blueprint for all the climb the Amway pyramid.
